[SOLVED] Which of these 2 SSDs is better for my main PC?

[Daboa]

I have 2 SSDs and want to put the better one into my primary PC and the other into a secondary PC. Does anyone have an opinion on which of these is "better" for my primary PC (in terms of performance and reliability)? UserBenchmark rates them about the same.

1. Samsung 840 EVO 120 GB (Old model, but it's been sitting unused since 2014 or 2015)
2. Team L5 LITE 3D 120 GB (Brand new)

Evo is no brainer at all if its Unused.

The 840 and 840 EVO were uncontested performance champions for quite a few years...

with Win 10 taking 30+ GB these days, a handful of downloaded/ installed common utilities and applications, and an MS or LibreOffice type installation, coupled with a thrown in a semi-annual WIndows update, and you will likely be constantly battling a full drive...

A single 120 GB OS drive just does not seem to go that far anymore...

I'd look hard for a 500 GB unit...or at least 240-250 GB...

If 120Gb is enough space for you then I too would go with the 840. Mine is also still running strong and so is the older 830 I have in the living room htpc.
